Australian former fast bowler Glenn McGrath admits that England team deserves to be No.1 in Tests rankings. McGrath speaking at event organised by charity The Lord's Taverners they are the team to beat in Test cricket at the moment. And the paceman also said that England have the bowling attack to potentially stay at the top for the next few years.
Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath expects the Andrew Strauss-led England Test side to continue in their bid to become the country's most successful side in coming years. England claimed the No.1 Test ranking for the first time in 32 years after winning the recent four-match Test series against India with 4-0.
McGrath quoted that it has been an interesting time, especially with the way England have played thorough out the summer. He think England have a great bowling attack and when you have that, it gives a lot of confidence and they deserve to be number one. Now, it’s all about maintaining the consistency and longevity of the winning habit is necessary. If they can keep the same team together then they'll be tough to beat in upcoming Ashes as well.
The ‘Piegion’ McGrath further believes that quality bowler James Anderson has helped transform England's fortunes. He always had a lot of respect for Jimmy and always thought he was a quality bowler. Now Jimmy is showing that he can be impressive outside of England which is a great sign of good bowler. McGrath added that it shows he is developing into the quality bowler.
The bowling unit of England Jimmy Anderson as spearhead along with Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad and Chris Tremlett has proved to be very strong at present and they have been great. Those fast bowlers along with Graeme Swann are working well. When you have the same bowling attack game after game it really does fill you with a lot of confidence. According to McGrath England are placed as No.1 Test team for their solid bowling performances.
